Patient's question:
Recently, I've noticed itching in the pubic hair area again, especially at night when I'm sleeping. This sensation is quite intense. Since it's summer, I haven't dared to pull or scratch it easily. During my shower, I also give the area a thorough cleaning and scrubbing. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said there were pubic lice in my pubic hair area. They prescribed me a lot of medication, and it has started to improve. However, I still want to ask the doctor one more question: can pubic lice cause an outbreak?Doctor's answer:
Pubic lice can cause illness. If there are pubic lice, it is better to treat them promptly. Generally, the treatment involves removing pubic hair while also recommending the use of insecticides locally. Undergarments, bedding, and other items should be promptly washed and disinfected. Pay attention to hygiene in daily life, and it is advisable to bathe frequently. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. It is better to exercise moderately to boost immunity and prevent weakened resistance. Avoid picking or scratching the affected skin, as it can easily spread. In addition to treatment, maintain a light diet and a positive mood. Only with a good mindset and adequate sleep can you quickly recover from the illness.
